If the earth suddenly shrinks to $\frac{1}{64}$th of its original volume with its mass remaining the same,the period of rotation of earth becomes $\frac{24}{x} \text{ h}$. The value of $x$ is $.......$

$A$ uniform heavy disc is rotating at a constant angular velocity $\omega$ about a vertical axis through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of the disc. Let $L$ be its angular momentum. $A$ lump of plasticine is dropped vertically on the disc and sticks to it. Which of the following quantities will remain constant?

$A$ man stands on a rotating platform with his arms stretched horizontally,holding a $5\; kg$ weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is $30$ revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms close to his body,with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from $90\; cm$ to $20\; cm$. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to $7.6\; kg\; m^2$.
$(a)$ What is his new angular speed? (Neglect friction.)
$(b)$ Is kinetic energy conserved in the process? If not,from where does the change come about?

$A$ horizontal disc of moment of inertia $4.25 \,kg \cdot m^2$ with respect to its axis of symmetry is spinning counter-clockwise at $15 \,rps$ about its axis,as viewed from above. $A$ second disc of moment of inertia $1.80 \,kg \cdot m^2$ with respect to its axis of symmetry is spinning clockwise at $25 \,rps$ as viewed from above about the same axis and is dropped on top of the first disc. The two discs stick together and rotate as one about their axis of symmetry. The new angular velocity of the system as viewed from above is close to

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Two objects,each of mass $m$,are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:

The angular velocity of a body changes from $\omega_1$ to $\omega_2$ without the application of any external torque,but this change occurs due to a change in its moment of inertia. The ratio of the radii of gyration in the two cases will be:
